while I was down below waiting for you to fall.

Watching and waiting was the hardest for me
pacing, and pacing...impatiently.

You were too close to the edge for my taste,
i shouted at you, and you fell in your haste.

I watched you fall for eternity
I was crying with so much urgency.

You tumbled and fell, hit the rocks
my heart came undone opening the locks.

You made so many mistakes, but I couldn/'/t intervene
you fell down, down...I couldn/'/t see through the sheen.

The mask that you wore on your face,
was held perfectly in place.

I couldn/'/t see the person I loved
even while I watched you fall from above.

You were high on the cliff watching it all,
while I was down below waiting for you to fall.

Watching and waiting was the hardest for me
pacing, and pacing...impatiently.

You were too close to the edge for my taste,
i shouted at you, and you fell in your haste.

I watched you fall for eternity
I was crying with so much urgency.

You tumbled and fell, hit the rocks
my heart came undone opening the locks.

You made so many mistakes, but I couldn/'/t intervene
you fell down, down...I couldn/'/t see through the sheen.

The mask that you wore on your face,
was held perfectly in place.

I couldn/'/t see the person I loved
even while I watched you fall from above.
